Finy Millions Lost Annually.

Facts in possession of the Government show
that the loss of farm animals from contag-
ious diseases exceeds fifty million dollars an
nually and that this enormous loss falls
almost wholly upon farmers and poultry
raisers, the loss from chicken cholera alone
being almost beyond belief. Cases are men
toned where whole townships have been
swept by chicken cholera and tens Of thou
sands of fowl lost at one outbreak. In the
case of pleuro pneumonia and hog cholera, no
absolute remedy has as yet been discovered,
but in the case of chicken cholera and all dis
eases of chickens an unfailing remedy has
been discovered We refer to Sheridan's
Condition Powder. This powder was u mar

GOING FOR GEORGE.
The Socialists Red Hot Over Their
ExcOmmuniCatiOn From
His Party.

New YORK, August I2.-The
Socialists, are bound to make life
interesting, if they can, for Henry
George and his following in the
United Labor Party if the party
insists on expelling them. The
tenth district will send Editor
Shevitch, Lawrence Gronlund and
Max Boehm to Syracuse to con-
test the district. They will OPP
pose any free trade plank at SYRIA
cuse. The George faction in the
fourteenth has sent out an olive
branch and instructed the dele
gates to try and keep the Social
lists in the party. The newly
chosen delegates are Frank Schai-
der, William McCabe, and d. ].
Quirk. George Block is an alter
nate.
The Labor enquirer., 1887-08-20
HENRY GEORGE.

The exact status of the embrogl-
ioin New York'is as follows:
After using the Socialists to
build up the United Labor Party,
Messrs. McMacklin. George and
McGlynn have excommunicated
them; have ordered them to
leave the United Labor Party or
give up Socialism.
The Syracuse convention which
is still in session will probably
sign, seal and officially promul-
gate the Bull.
What is wrong for Rome ap-
pears to be right for George. But
that cause which cannot bear to
have the truth discussed, which
desires to have anything suppress
ed or any man gagged, that cause
The Labor enquirer., 1887-08-20

abolished by subscribing to the
organ Of his crude opinions and
autocratic will. 1t is the financial
condition of laboring men and
women in general, and not of Mr..
George in particular, that a labor
Party is intended to benefit.
The Syracuse convention will
decide, unless a temporary COM
promise settling nothing should
be patched up, whether the party
is to remain as political annex
and side-show for the benefit of
one man, or whether a broader and
less exclusive policy is to be
adopted. Whatever may be
thought of the principles and aims
of the Socialistic labor leaders,
they have furnished goodly
share of the enthusiasm and of the
votes brought to the movement.
When people are striving for an
economic revolution, half beliefs,
half principles, and would-be
leaders who dare not carry out
their own logic are left behind.
In the long run this is the fate
that must come to Henry George.
How long the party which took
took him up last fall will consent
to be guided by his dictation re-
mains to be seen. The Syracuse
convention will throw some light
upon that point. 1t will deter
mine also whether the United
Labor Party means to be exclusive.
The present foundation of the
United Labor Party is too narrow
Many of its members know this
perfectly well, and are deeply dis
contented with their party gov
ernment of George, for George,
and by George.

ply responsible at law if it is not
the truth. The Neasham, on the
contrary, is execution proof; and
he dare not put his verbal sland-
ers in writing because he knows
there are prison doors for the Ii
beler though none unhappily for
the pitiful coward that only knows
how to use a vemonous tongue.
Neasham is a LIAR when he
states that | have ever been drunk
or under the influence of liquor;
he is LIAR when he says l have
ever taken a drop of morphine, or
grain of opium; he is a LIAR
when he says | am an Anarchists
as he uses the term; LIAR when
he says that | am trying to disrupt
the order; a liar when he says that
he was on intimate terms with
either HUGO, MAzzINI, KossUTH
or CARLYLE. The very worms
that feed upon the dead bod
les of these great men would turn
in loathing from the corpse of
such a coloss sal liar as this whelp
is.
He lies, to cap the climax, in
every word that he says concern
ing the adve ertisements in the EN-
QUIRER.
And he is a COWARD as we'll as a
sLANDERER because he dare not
sign his name to the ISLANDERS he
secretly ciroulates.

Cold Facts.
For the Enquirer.

For the Enquirer.
We often hear people say that
there is no need of persons being
out of employment, that men are
tramps and ''bums" from choice;
that anyone that really wants work
can get it; that the idle men are
not hunting for work, but rather
trying not to find it, etc., etc.
These are only a few samples of
the expressi ons we hear every day
when we make the assertion that
machinery has displaced men to
such an extent that thousands of
willing me n and women are
doomed to suffer from enforced
idleness.
Now on Saturday afternoon,
August I3, the man who has the
contract of eYcavating on the cor
ner of Fifteenth and Larimer, put
up notice like this:
"WANTED. Good teams and five
laborers."
On Monday morning at 6:45 a.
NJ, when | passed the place, there
were no less than $50 men and
twenty-five cams on the ground
waiting for a chance to work at
starvation VI ages, and many more
arriving every minute.
If work is SO plenty that anyone
can get work who wants it, why
do so manyipoor fellows rush for
a job of shoyeling dirt ten hours
in the hot sun at 80 per day2

THAT "AMERICAN" PARTY.

A branch has been organized
in Denver. Its present headquart-
ers are in San Francisco; its orig
inator is Pixley of San Francisco;
its organ is the ArgoHant; the Ar-
s0naut is the weekly exponent of
the ideas of the American Aris-
tocrscy."
What that party means should
not be judged from its platform
that is ''molasses to catch flies. "
What it really means is best found
by consulting its founder.
This is what Mr.. PiXley says ed
itorily about it in the ArgoHam of
July so, 1877.
"This vermin (,he working class is
swarming and becoming dangerous from
numbers. bold from necessity, desperate
from hungery II threatens social order,
the security Of property, ana the preser-
walton OF individual rights. The time
has come when the small differences that
divided Yank aud Rebel should be lost
sight OF and forgotten In the presence of IA
greater peril. This land Is under the
shadow OF greater danger than that Of
slavery, Is nearer TO n more f,arfal brink
than when II unsheathed swords In civil
war. There Is need Of f>the pure-bred
Americans who, for $50 years,
have lived In the South land, pre-
served by the institution of slavery from
that more direfui curse OF criminal Euro
pcan invasion, preserved, by owning
labor, from It's insurrections ana unlaw.
ful uprisings, preserved from dynamite
and discontent by an entire absence from
Its territory Of the vicious. discontented,
and dangerous element that in our more
Northern cities holds sway, and I'm our
Northern s,ntrs Is becoming IN element
ofIerror."
You would think from this that
Mr.. PiXley is one of these South
ern gentlemen.
He isn't.
His political enemies and capi-
talistic bed-fellows say of him that
he is Constantinbple Jew, bred
is a lawyer, breeched as journal
ist and salted down at last by
monopoly as their prize purge
warranted to relieve any country
of Surfcit of red-herring.
But there is no question but that
in the above excerpt he voices the
true sentiments of his class who
desire to be preserved from labor S
instructions by OWNING II"

THAT CROSS.

1t would be too tough to say
that the cross of the new crusade
stands between two thieves, but it
is certain that there is food for
much reflection in the following
item:
"'Reformer' August Meyer, the
loud-mouthed enemy of the Soci-
alists, last Monday night let the
cat out of the bag, when he or
ganized' portion of the tenth as
sembly district, New York, and
admitted to the United Labor Par
ty August P. Wagener, a promi-
nent republican politician who
ran for congress on the republi-
can ticket last year, and Mr.. Phil
lip Wassing, defeated republi-
can candidate for state assembly.
These fellows tried to get in when
the Socialists were in control but
were black-balled. The reason
why the Socialists were not want
ed by the Georgeites is now appar-
ent: they were too vigilant for the
boodlemen. What with Irving
Hall heelers and republican heel
ers, and itching palms stretched
forth from Centralia, and no So
cialists to keep them in honesty's
bounds-the New York George
party is in a bad way"
The Labor enquirer., 1887-08-20

which will not bear the full blaze
of light upon it is doomed to
death.
Tammany desired to shut
Georges mouth because his talk
interfered with boodleism. But
now George seeing the star of Of
fee rising on the horizon, on his
part desires to bride the tongues
that tell the truth. Where is the
difference?
Long ago o,e ought to have
dropped side issues and masquer-
AIDES, and have come out flat-foot-
ed and uncompromisingly in; favor
of the aVh0le truth.

THE BREWERS STRIKE.
Science.

Just as go to press | receive a
long and angry letter from Alfred
Fuhrman, of San Francisco dis
claiming the accounts sent to the
ENQUIRER concerning the recent
Brewers strike in San Francisco.
These accounts it will be remem-
bered were from the |. w. A. and
from an agent of the c. S. u, and
gave Mr.. Thurman the main cred
it; this honor he modestly but
Indignantly denies.
He gives the credit to the Fed
Grafton and to the unnamed work
ers of the Brewers Union, and
thinks that it is an Outrage" to
have given him the main praise.
/ shall give his letter room next
week, although room is scarce.
And do this to disabuse the
minds of any of any belief they
may have that Mr.. Thurman had
any knowledge of what was sent
in by our correspondents.
When we praise we don't go to
the party to be praised for our
facts.

New York Sun, August 15.

New York Sun, August 10.
The United Labor convention
which meets at Syracuse. on
Wednesday is not likely to be dull.
The contest between the Socialists
and the Georgeists, which has pro-
duced so mu uch heat and fire at the
primaries n this city, will be
fought out OF compromised. There
are some very animated and pic
turesque ora tors among the Social
lists, and, indeed, there is no want
of vigorous expression and de-
cided tempe r among their oppo-
nents in the Labor Party. The
latter, however, have the disad-
vantage of q occupying an illogical
position. Moreover the onus rests
upon them ofintroducing disunion
into the par ty and of trying to
drive out many of its most Jealous
supporters.
For the future of the Labor
Party the pr roceedings of the Syr-
acuse convention NAV we'll be of
the utmost Importance. 1t has
been evident for some time, and
at least the Socialists appreciat c
the fact. that a Labor Party can
possess no ri cal national strength
or significance while it is confined
to the glorification and furthering
the personal interests and beliefs of
one man. Viewed in the most
favorable light and through the
most ben evolent magnifying
lenses. Mr.. Henry George is
not capable of becoming a great
national issue, nor is poverty to be

Correspondents send me the

which HE DARE NOT REPEAT IN

Buchanan for some little time, he
began thus on me, says my cor

father to furnish your recon-
mends' when you came to Den
yer; that you labored for the ex-
clusion of the Chinese and would
lay in joint and smoke opium
with them and lots of other SINH
lar villifcations.
Finally he got onto the theme
of his own personal qualifications
and claims to admiration. He
told me of the many illustrious
men with whom he had formerly
been on most intimate terms, men
tioning Victor Hugo, .Mazzini,
Kossuth, Carlyle, Robert Owen,
